Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or mix), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup (125 grams / 4.4 ounces) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (115 grams / 4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (50 grams / 1.8 ounces) rolled oats
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- ¼ cup (50 grams / 1.8 ounces) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 grams / 3.5 ounces) brown sugar
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Transform crisp apples into delicate, tantalizingly sweet wedges by meticulously peeling and coring them. Gently bathe the apple slices in zesty lemon juice, then lavishly coat with a harmonious blend of granulated sugar, warming cinnamon, aromatic nutmeg, and cornstarch to ensure a lusciously thickened filling.
- Craft the crumble topping by amalgamating flour, hearty oats, rich brown sugar, fragrant cinnamon, and a whisper of salt in a mixing vessel. Introduce cold, cubed butter and delicately massage the ingredients together using fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture transforms into rustic, uneven crumbs.
- Ignite the oven to a precise 350F (175C). Generously lubricate a baking vessel with butter or non-stick spray. Elegantly distribute the apple mixture across the dish, creating an even layer that promises delectable consistency.
- Tenderly cascade the crumble topping over the apple foundation, ensuring complete coverage that will develop a golden, crisp exterior during baking. Position the dish in the preheated oven and allow it to bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, watching for a burnished top and effervescent edges.
- Upon removal, permit the apple crumble a brief moment to settle and cool. Serve alongside a luxurious accompaniment of vanilla ice cream, billowy whipped cream, or velvety custard to elevate this quintessential dessert experience.
Notes
- Slice apples uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dessert.
- Choose firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best balance of sweetness and structure in the filling.
- Keep butter extremely cold when making the crumble topping to achieve a perfect, crispy, and flaky texture that doesn’t become greasy.
- Dust the crumble with powdered sugar just before serving for an elegant finishing touch that adds a subtle sweetness and professional presentation.
